hang in bars with the Horrors.
And

The beauty of it is,

So I'm on the tube on my way home last night reading the paper.
I see an ad for a gig in it, a small little corner block ad.
This is what it said:
Royal Festival Hall
Life Along the Borderline - A Tribute to Nico
Saturday 11 October 2008, 7.30pm
John Cale, composer, co-founder of the Velvet Underground and producer of Nico's most renowned albums presents an iconoclastic tribute to this beloved icon.
A very special line-up of artists including:
James Dean Bradfield (Manic Street Preachers),
Guillemots,
Mark Lanegan,
The Fiery Furnaces,
Mark Linkous (Sparklehorse),
Peter Murphy (Bauhaus),
Lisa Gerrard (Dead Can Dance),
Liz Green and Nick Franglen,
re-imagine her songs in this unique event.
see here: https://www.southbankcentre.co.uk/music/productions/life-along-the-borderline---a-42832
So I die!!
ah!!
I already have tickets to Calexico for the
same night but am now trying to sell them on Gumtree,
http://www.gumtree.com/cgi-bin/show_posting.pl?posting_id=29537249
because I cannot miss this!
and I'm going on my own because it's impossible
to find someone at the last minute who
understands what a moment not to miss this will be,
and who really would 100% enjoy it.
Hopefully I'll make some more new friends
with some of the hundreds of people that
have already bought tickets to it...
since we do share the same interest :)

Sooooo......
Last year sometime I read the biography of Steve Strange from Visage.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visage
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Strange
He completely inspired me to amp up my creative makeup & personal style.
The whole story also helped compel me towards moving to London...
and sooo... GUESS WHO I MET TONIGHT??!!
Ta daa:
STEVE STRANGE!!!
We had a great conversation about the club
(we were at the 30th anniversary of Blitz & official Blitz relaunch),
and he complimented me greatly on my makeup and outfit,
thanking me for putting so much effort in and doing it so well!
*AHHHHH!!*
I then said I would be happy to promote the club for him/design things/DJ...etc
and he asked for my card!
Then I met his long time friend and saviour Rose,
who asked me for my card also to make sure I was contacted!
(We ended up walking to the bus stop together after the night finished!)
So umm yeah, like I'll be DJING AT BLITZ!!!
I also had a quick chat with Rusty Egan, one of the original DJs from Blitz!
Steve and Rusty from their younger days...
ohh and someone else I met and had a great coversation with also:
Steve Norman of Spandau Ballet!!
http://www.steve-norman.com/
There he was in his lemon yellow top...!
AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
happy happy joy joy
happy happy joy!
and here's a pic of my pal Sara and I posing up a storm!
She's an awesome Italian who's 100% into the new romantics just like me :D

How cool is this?
I just scored a free ticket to Siouxsie's last live show
of her Mantaray LP tour
at Koko in Camden on Sept 29th! - it is being filmed!
and...
I have also scored a free ticket to SPEAR OF DESTINY
playing live at Carling Academy in Islington tomorrow night!
Some info on Spear of Destiny...
Former vocalist/guitarist with Theatre Of Hate,
Kirk Brandon formed the first S.O.D line up in 1983.
Throughout the 80s, their albums went top 20
and led to them supporting U2. S.O.D are now back
with some new material recalling the dark and
high powered rock which made them
so good in the first place.
http://www.myspace.com/spearofdestinyuk
I cannot believe I am going to get to hear Kirk Brandon's voice live!!
And all in return for taking some photos
and writing a review for website which is
what I would have done for myself anyway...
*YES!*

This song has been with me since I was so young, it's so beautiful.
I wish there was a better quality video but, this will have to do...
Don't Believe Anymore by Icehouse
There's nothing quite like a crying saxophone sometimes
I never counted on this
guess that's the way that it goes yeah
you used to be someone I knew
somebody I could understand but
now I don't know what to do
and I don't know who you are no
all those things I hear you say
you talk that way you're a stranger and I
I don't know where to begin
don't want to hear it again
I don't believe anymore
and this is all I know
I know I've heard it before
I don't believe anymore
and I remember your voice
before this happened to us
and I could see and I was sure
and everything was young and new but
we lost it too many times
and that's the way that it is
lovers come and lovers go
when you think you know it just isn't true oh
I don't know where to begin
don't want to hear it again
I don't believe anymore
and this is all I know
I know I've heard it before
I don't believe anymore
I don't know where to begin
don't want to hear it again
I don't believe anymore
and this is all I know
I know I've heard it before
I don't believe anymore
don't believe anymore
don't believe anymore
don't know where to begin
don't want to hear it again
don't believe anymore
and this is all I know
I know I've heard it before
don't believe anymore
oh oh oh
don't believe anymore
